上撰 — Josen, and the one-cup sake
Josen (上撰) means "superior selection", one of the traditional everyday grading terms used on Japanese sake, a marker of a brewery's regular house range rather than its premium ginjo and daiginjo bottles. It signals a smooth, reliable, well-balanced sake made for daily drinking. The one-cup (ワンカップ) format, a single-serving glass with a peel-off lid, is a much-loved Japanese institution, the sake you grab from a kiosk or vending machine, ready to drink anywhere with no fuss. Hakutsuru has brewed in Nada, Kobe since 1743.

Product Details
| Type | 上撰 — Josen (everyday sake, one-cup) |
| Brand | Hakutsuru (白鶴), founded 1743 |
| Volume | 200ml (one-cup) |
| Serve | Chilled or warmed |
| Origin | Nada, Kobe, Japan |
What is a one-cup sake?
A one-cup is a single 200ml serving of sake in its own glass tumbler with a resealable peel-off lid. There is no need for a separate cup, a flask or an opener: you peel the lid and drink. It is the everyday Japanese format for trains, festivals, picnics and quick single servings, and because each is sealed and portioned it is handy for a single pour without opening a full bottle.
Can I serve it warm?
Yes. An everyday josen sake takes warming well for a comforting winter serve, and is equally good well chilled for a cleaner, fresher pour. To warm a one-cup, stand the open cup in a bath of hot water for a few minutes rather than microwaving it, for a gentle, even result.
How should I store it?
Keep the sealed cup in a cool, dark place out of direct sunlight. As a single sealed serving there is no part-bottle to manage, you simply chill and drink. Once peeled it is meant to be drunk straight away. Store somewhere cool and serve fresh for the best flavour.
